Unlocking Small Monkey Option

Small Monkey Towers Option is a setting for Bloons TD 6 that was added in Version 17.0. It is available after claiming rewards for the respective achievement "Golden Ticket". This can be revealed by entering Candy Falls and interacting with the hidden monkeys to complete their song, requiring all eight to be tapped in a specific order. Similarly to Big Bloon Option and Small Bloon Option, the effect is purely visual, and it can be enabled on CHIMPS Mode. There is a bug where you will be unable to place monkeys on aircraft carriers while enabled.

Performing the Order

To unlock both the achievement and the option for future games, the player must be in Candy Falls. There are eight hidden monkeys which reveal themselves once their respective area is tapped upon. When tapped in the correct sequence, they will form a short section of the correct tune (where C4 is middle C and B4 is one semitone before higher C: E4-A3, E4-A3, E4-D4-C4, D4, D4-C4-B3, E4-E4, D4-C4-A3, B3). If done correctly, the combination of these mini-tunes should together make a brief instrumental of the Oompa Loompa theme song in the key of A Minor.

It is not needed to get the timing of the tune correct, but the monkeys do have to be tapped pretty quickly in the correct sequence; after around 1 second of inactivity, the sequential pattern will reset. If the selected monkey is correct, a certain part of the Oompa Loompa tune would play. If in the wrong sequence or too late, a "failure" tune ("A3-F#2") would play instead.

NOTE: The sequence can be restarted any time, and it can be performed on any game mode; the map does not have to be beaten to earn the achievement. The achievement can be completed in co-op mode as well, but will not be granted to all players. Each player must individually input the code, as the hidden monkeys do not appear for other players.

The player must tap the following (in order) to earn the achievement. If they tap the right location, they'll see the hidden monkey appear and then disappear, along with the corresponding mini-tune.

1. Top right corner
2. Door on the house
3. The base of the chocolate waterfall
4. The top left corner
5. The right side of the low part of the track overhanging the chocolate river
6. The bottom right corner
7. The water wheel
8. The bottom left corner

Once completed, the option will be unlocked once the player claims the Golden Ticket achievement reward.

Trivia

• The reduction in the visual size of towers makes it difficult to imagine the size of their footprints becuase their actual footprint size doesn't change. This may cause problems when trying to place towers in tightly packed places, especially when using towers with an above-average footprint size, such as a Heli Pilot or Super Monkey.
• This achievement, its description, and both the map and the monkeys residing inside it are all references to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
  • This is especially the case with the monkeys required to pull off the musical cues, being clearly inspired by the attire of the 1971 film adaptation.
• There are a few odd interactions with the Small Monkey Towers Option is active:
  • The Champion Sentries from Sentry Champion will become 'normal' again when they are exploding. This is because the process of the Champion Sentries shaking and exploding is simply an animation, and the sentries are already counted as 'deleted'.
  • Likewise, when Pat Fusty uses his Big Squeeze ability, the blimps will also become small, as this is an animation, and the actual blimp is already removed.
  • When the Sun Temple is being upgraded to a True Sun God, the Sun Temple's head expands before turning into a small True Sun God.
